jtc970 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'm trying to get the most out of my system without overclocking TOO much, but I have little knowledge with what I'm doing, and have the same feeling in my stomach as if I was on a roller coaster with rusty wheels.

When my computer is booting up the boot screen shows ddr400 but the BIOS says ddr500, is that normal for my board? Any suggestion on better performance? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

ontarian_frog Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Those settings are fine as they are. You can research overclocking on google to get more juice out of your processor. Overall it looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
